Mobile Menu - Remove Hamburger

gyopokeith · March 2017

Hello,

For the Mobile menu, the default menu uses the hamburger (i.e. Three lines), which opens up into more menus.

I would like to remove this and make the menu always open.

How can I do this?

Also, I'd like to use icons for these always open menu items (like facebook or instagram use on their app, or mobile site).

How can I do this?

Thank you very much

Hi,

You cannot do this, it is always open. To use icons in the menu just add an icon <i class="insert icon here"></i> to the name of the menu element.

The list of icons is here.

Thank you for the icons.

So to confirm if I understand correctly, I cannot get rid of the hamburger menu on mobile?

If yes, could this be an update request for the future?
There's a lot of research that says hamburger menus are poor UI.
